Briarpatch Magazine - Hearing Two-Spirits - "Indigenous peoples often experience marginalization and stigma within settler LGBTQ
spaces and other urban communities where respect for Indigenous
cultures, languages, and traditions is lacking. Even progressive social
movements can be marked by patterns of domination, assimilation,
paternalism, charity, or tokenism.

By placing resurgence at the core of our lives, rather than simply
reacting to the colonial agenda, Two-Spirits disrupt the colonial
landscape. The very existence of Two-Spirits is resistance, and it is
further strengthened when we take care of ourselves as well as the
spirits of others."
